Foglights
No ABS (Anti Lock Brakes)
No Rear Spoiler

It came out to nearly $17,000. Also, the "Build-A-Toyota" function for your area sucks. They don't even list inventory of what may be close. It just says "Contact the Dealer" on there. All I can do is wish you luck.

Yet another thing to consider... I love my Yaris and all, but if you're going to spend $17,000 on a car why aren't you buying a Civic or extremely lightly used RSX?

Better yet, compromise and get a bare stock liftback. You'll pay under $13,000. By this logic you'll have $4000 you didnt spend on your car to put into a sunroof/stereo/fog lights/rims etc...

On a side note, I was really bummed out when I went to get my car because I wanted a fully loaded liftback. I even asked if they made a LB in the S trim. Toyota is shipping barebones liftbacks to the US for a couple of reasons. Number one is that Toyota expected sales in the United States to be about 80% sedan and 20% liftback. I think those numbers will end up being wrong but regardless the liftback was supposed to be the Yaris for entry-level car owners who were short on cash/financing options. If you want a liftback with any options on it, gooooooood luck. Those seeking the sedan are luckier... I bought my car in Kent, Ohio at Don Joseph Toyota and that particular dealership has had nothing but S sedans coming in since I bought their one and only liftback. Seeing as how the sedans are the ones that are supposed to come with the options, I don't see why you would have any problem. If you do and don't mind driving to Ohio, let me know. ;)

On a side note, I talked to a sales associate/scion junkie at the dealership about the Yaris and its tuning potential, and he hinted at some TRD products coming out for the Yaris in the not-too-distant future. A TRD Supercharger was included. Could be bullshit, but I'm being optimistic. FI under warranty would be hottttt.
